Full Description
This book focuses on laser-triggered nanobiomaterials for tumor inhibition. In this book, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle-mediated cancer PTT through intratumoral or/and intravenous injection is introduced first. The benefits of intratumoral injection and the main factors affecting the retention of materials and permeability in solid tumors have been discussed. Furthermore, an attempt has been made to explore the performance of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles after intravenous injection for tumor-targeted PTT based on several strategies. The latter part probes the gaps to improve magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle-mediated PTT through intratumoral and intravenous injection modes. This book also includes discussion on drug-loaded magnetic nanocomposites, magnetic iron oxide/Au nanocomposites, and magnetic iron oxide/semiconductor nanocrystal nanocomposites for combination cancer therapy, and enhanced cancer PTT has also been included as an integral part. This book also summarizes the most investigated photothermal agents, including noble metal nanoparticles, especially gold nanostars, hollow mesoporous copper sulfide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanoparticles, especially carbon nanotubes and graphic carbon nanocages, black phosphorous nanosheets, conjugated polymer nanoparticles, and organic dye nanoparticles.
This book is useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students to better understand this research area. It may also provide useful information for technical nonspecialists whose background is in nanoscience and nanotechnology, biology, medicine, pharmacy, materials, chemistry, and physics.
